Chapter 1721
Calvert angrily shouted at Kelly, pointing a finger straight at her
Dad, Tomas brought it on himself, and you’re blaming me for it?” Kelly asked, finding it hard to accept
“What do you mean, he brought it on himself? It was Jacob who set him up” Calvert bellowed, clutching his chest
and collapsing onto the couch
Kelly was completely taken aback.
What followed was her desperate call to Jacob.
take for you to leave my family alone? They had no part in this! My father genuinely loved Erica, I was the one
causing trouble! Please, spare them? Kelly broke down, sobbing uncontrollably
want you to give up everything you have, leave the Shields family and live on the streets, begging for survival”
What Kelly valued most was her pride, wasnt it?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo he would crush her, burying her pride forever!
“Jacob, you are crazy” Kelly was in utter disbelief
Asking her to beg was worse than asking her to die
It’s fine, you can die. Within a couple of months, your father, brothers, husband and child will be homeless, begging
and wandering just like you”
Kelly’s ears were buzzing
“You have….three minutes to decide. After that, I’m changing my mind” Jacob said slowly
Kelly gripped her phone tightly. “Jacob, is it all my fault that you and Enca broke up?”
“Don’t worry, no one’s getting away” Jacob replied, his tone laced with amusement.
This sent chills down Kelly’s spine
Three minutes was too short a time.
Kelly had no choice.
Through gritted teeth, she agreed, “Jacob, don’t hurt my family anymore!”

With a bitter smile. Kelly put down her phone and, filled with humiliation, walked towards the front door.
Jacob had someone watch Kelly
They kicked her out of the affluent neighborhood and dumped her in a slum where the homeless gathered
She was too gorgeously dressed.
On the very same day, they forcefully stripped off her designer clothes.
They replaced them with clothes reeking of fith.
At night, she found a corner that she thought was safe.
But soon after, a man, reeking of filth, harassed her.
No matter how much she screamed and begged, she couldn’t escape.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe suddenly remembered a time, over a decade ago.
Erica, with tears streaking her face and ragged clothes, standing before her.
When the hardship finally fell upon her, Kelly finally felt regret.
If she hadn’t done those things, how much could Erica, an illegitimate daughter, really outshine her?
The major families wouldn’t want a woman of her birth.
The minor families wouldn’t care about her.
Her father would’ve likely married her off as a tool of alliance
No matter what, she wouldn’t have ended up like this.
But what’s done was done, she couldn’t take it back.
Kelly was now stuck in the filthy chaotic, disorderly slums.
Her pride gradually faded away under the weight of hunger and the abuses of men.
Jacob’s people watched her for six long months
Once they saw her slowly turning into a madwoman in the corners of the city
Jacob ordered them to leave
